==={{Anchor|ABS|PKGBUILD}}Arch build system (ABS)===
The Arch build system (ABS) is a [[ports collection|ports]]-like source packaging system that compiles source tarballs into binary packages, which are installed via Pacman.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System |title=Arch Build System |website=ArchWiki |access-date=19 October 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130117115225/https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System |archive-date=17 January 2013 |url-status=live }}</ref> The Arch build system provides a directory tree of [[shell script]]s, called ''PKGBUILDs'', that enable any and all official Arch packages to be customized and compiled. Rebuilding the entire system using modified [[CFLAGS|compiler flags]] is also supported by the Arch build system. The Arch build system <code>makepkg</code> tool can be used to create custom <code>pkg.tar.zst</code> packages from third-party sources. The resulting packages are also installable and trackable via Pacman.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg |title=Makepkg |website=ArchWiki |access-date=15 February 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130126193508/https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg |archive-date=26 January 2013 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Arch Linux - News: Now using Zstandard instead of xz for package compression|url=https://www.archlinux.org/news/now-using-zstandard-instead-of-xz-for-package-compression/|access-date=2020-07-13|website=www.archlinux.org|archive-date=18 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318032814/https://archlinux.org/news/now-using-zstandard-instead-of-xz-for-package-compression/|url-status=live}}</ref>
